    A man stands swaying side to side in a 30 degree arc, staring steadily at the maps and charts before him, the words are clear and seem to leap from the page to grip his heart, BEWARE for here there be DRAGONS. Aye indeed 'twas sure, strange things awaited any vessel crossing into the arctic circle, in the 17th century, but fortunately no dragons. We look back today a bit wistfully on a time that never really was, of romantic tales of knights in shining armor, dragon slayers, of wizards, and mighty magics, and somewhere behind it all, we know 'tis all fantasy. But that is where we err, and err grievously, for my friends, knights do exist, dragons come in many forms, and the fact of the matter is, Magic exists.

    Thirty or more years have I have been of the conviction that "magic" existed as the doing of something by means not explainable by current knowledge, well that was really nothing more than linguistic "slight of hand", certainly not addressing the essence of the kind of magic that draws on unseen energies to create that which had not existed before, and it is this magic that I now fully assert, exists.

    The problem is we have been ignorant of this magic although every one of us has used it ubiquitously, it is in fact the force by which we forge ourselves, on the anvil of our experience. The Magic is so absolutely essential to even our awareness of self, that we are hardpressed to imagine even ourselves without it, in the mentality of the human, being, it is the creator of all things, the enabler of all external behavior, and the only means by which we may begin, to come to know each other. The magic my friends is language.
    (Ach! He's popped his cork now for sure)
    Go ahead try to "think" without words. Not feel, that's emoting, not "picture" that is imaging, call up cognition alone and do it without words.........
    ...........
    ya know, Cogito erg sum! I think therefore, I am!

    ............................................................................................................. Go ahead hug a word today
    With words we create who we are next, and with spells cast of words the future is formed. These very things, you percieve this instant, or actually the barest moment ago, percieved. Arcane symbols made of precise angles, curves, lines, and blank spaces, that create in your mindspace, out of infintesimal amounts of one of the four fundamental forces of the universe, (electromagnetic force) 'meaning", these my friends constitute high magic, value them, cherish them, and by all means take great care of how you use them.
    Peace and Love
